Evidently, when Wen was a little girl, she liked to play the Pink Panther song on the piano and she watched Pink Panther cartoons. She must have felt a little nostalgic when she spotted a Pink Panther dog toy while shopping, because the toy appeared at our house.
It didn’t take but a few seconds for that sneaky Pink Panther to get captured by Scottie jaws. He may be sneaky in cartoons, but he was a sitting duck for Sadie!
Today is dreary, really dreary and it has been raining steadily since last night. We Scotties don’t get to spend much time outside on days like this, because we track in wet pawprints, mud, and leaves, so Wen encourages us to do our business quickly.
Meanwhile, with the wet weather, it’s one of those days when we Scotties curl up for naps. Since the rain is only supposed to last for today, tomorrow we will be back to our usual cruising around out in the yard, but for now, rain, rain, go away. All us Scotties want to play (outside)!
Yesterday, the Rocky Mountain Scottish Terrier Club had a meeting and they invited a veterinary dental specialist to come and give a presentation. The vet and her tech talked about the importance of dental care and they gave everyone goodie bags with dental products and treats.
Wen came home with goodie bags for Molly, Sadie, and me and there were all kinds of interesting items—especially the dental treats!
Of course, we Scotties are up for any kind of treats, but hey, if the treats help keep our teeth clean, so much the better!
About the only times my two sisters are seen together is early in the morning on the loveseat. Molly has claimed the loveseat as her turf and she spends a lot of time stretching out there, so she can be seen there constantly.
Sadie will jump up on the loveseat infrequently and she normally snuggles up on the opposite end when Molly is there. No snuggling will happen between those two and the only times that Sadie will seek out Molly is if she thinks that Wen is going to grab her to do something to her and she needs Molly for support.
This happened today as Wen was following Sadie to take a picture of her and Sadie jumped up on the loveseat right next to Molly. Miss Molly looked surprised for a second and then Sadie immediately moved to the opposite end of the loveseat, so things were back to normal.
My sisters have personal space issues, but they have worked out their boundaries.
You can tell that fall will officially be here in a few days by the trees starting to change colors, the leaves falling in our backyard, and the cooler temperatures. Also, when the stores advertise pumpkin everything, you know that fall is almost here.
So it’s time for me to try on some fall colors. I can participate in the colorful season too!
All of us winners of the Pet Savers calendar photo contest also won a 16×16 of the picture we chose from our photo shoots to be used for the calendar. The photo arrived unframed, so Wen found a frame company online where she could download my photo with frames of all different styles and colors.
It was more of a process than she had anticipated, but after looking at tons of frames, she eventually found one that she liked and it was delivered yesterday.
Now that we have the finished product, the next question is where to hang it, since it is sitting on the fireplace mantle next to the 16×20 metal print from my Lookout Mountain photo shoot that we still haven’t found a good spot for.
Maybe it’s time to rotate some artwork to free up some wall space or Wen’s going to have to make some tough choices or get very creative. Anyway, the framed photo turned out very well and we are pleased with the final product!
Whatcha doin’ in the kitchen? We heard some interesting noises that sounded like they may involve food, so here we are to check it out. A little snack would be really nice! HINT, HINT!
Yesterday was grooming day (which seems to come around often for us Scotties, but not often enough for Wen) and we loaded up early in the morning to drive to Elizabeth, Colorado to See Gigi, our groomer.
When we got there, a whole crew of dogs of all sizes from Yorkies to Cane Corsos was hanging out in the room with the grooming tables, because Gigi offers cageless grooming for dogs that don’t do well in a cage and can get along with other dogs.
That doesn’t apply to us Scotties though and the three of us have our own special pen for just us, because let’s just say that three Scotties running around with a bunch of other dogs would probably stir things up!
Gigi did her usual magic on us and we looked so good when Wen picked us up that she complimented Gigi over and over for how stylin’ we were.
I suppose that looking good and smelling like perfume is nice, but that doesn’t mean that when we got home, we three didn’t roll around on the living room couch, the floor, and in the grass out in the backyard and immediately we were back to some furious hole digging.
Our usual grooming day routine after we get home is to get fed, cruise around the backyard, and pick out our favorite spots on the couch and love seat and take a big snooze. What better way is there for us stylin’ Scotties to end a day full of car rides and grooming activity?!
My sister, Molly is doing well after her surgery to remove a lipoma on her left side. She didn’t bother her incision at all the entire two weeks after her surgery and Dr. Nina removed her sutures a week ago.
So it’s back to normal for Molly and the patch that was shaved on her side where the lump was removed has hair growing in, so hopefully in a few months, we won’t be able to see where her incision was.
All’s well that ends well.
Molly
Today’s the day! The Denver Broncos play their first game of the regular season and since we’re big Broncos fans, we’re excited that football’s back.
Wen got out our Broncos stuff and we Scotties each have our very own Broncos jersey. We also have a Broncos football to play with and a Broncos yard flag that we display on game days, so we’re definitely ready for some football.
Go Broncos!!! Let’s win this first game!
